Short Version: BYC will be unavailable for a scheduled update on Monday evening, 10 pm PST.
There may be a chance that you will get logged out after the upgrade is completed, so make sure your email address is correct and you know your login information
Detailed Version:
We've been getting ready for an update to the BYC software (learning, reviewing, planning, and testing) for over 6 months, and we're finally confident and ready to pull the trigger.
This will NOT be a big software change like we went through 2 years ago. This is simply an update to the existing software, and many peeps may not even notice any differences.
We did a very successful update to all the "sister sites" about 2.5 months ago and things went really well. You can check out the updated sites here:
www.BackYardHerds.com
www.TheEasyGarden.com
www.SufficientSelf.com
BYC is a MUCH MUCH bigger beast, so we've put even more time and effort into the process to make sure things go as smoothly as possible. This included making a fully copy of BYC onto another server and doing the entire upgrade on that copy.
We'll be starting the update Monday evening, 1/13/2020 around 10 pm PST. We're not sure exactly how long the process will take, but we're hoping to have it done before peeps wake up on Tuesday morning.
Please expect some dust in the air for a little while after the update.
We thank you in advance for your patience and assistance as we go through the update process. Please post any questions and issues in this thread!
